DISCOVER NON-DRUG PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Back and neck pain continue to be prominent causes of chronic discomfort, resulting in significant dependency on opioids for relief. However, research demonstrates that chiropractic care may be an effective, drug-free alternative, minimizing the need for opioids while effectively managing pain.
Chiropractic treatments, including spinal manipulation and manual decompression, focus on correcting musculoskeletal misalignments that contribute to pain. According to a 2025 study by Trager et al., patients receiving chiropractic care for sciatica experienced fewer opioid-related adverse events, highlighting its role in reducing dependency on opioid medications. (1) Likewise, Kruse et al. (2023) found that patients with failed back surgery syndrome significantly decreased their opioid use after just three months of manual spinal decompression therapy. (2)
Beyond back pain relief, chiropractic care provides] more benefits by decreasing reliance on opioids. This minimizes the risk of addiction and avoids the unpleasant side effects associated with long-term opioid use. Chiropractic treatment empowers patients to take a proactive, holistic approach to their health, fostering long-term recovery and an improved quality of life.
If you're wanting an effective way to manage back or neck pain without opioids, chiropractic therapy is a research-documented alternative backed by science. Experience drug-free pain relief and regain control over your health today.
